Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 ½ cups cold whole milk
  • Chocolate shavings or cookie crumbs for garnish

Method
 

  1. Crush cookies into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter, press into a 9x13 inch dish, and chill 15 minutes.
  2. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, mix in vanilla, then fold in half of the whipped topping.
  3. Whisk both pudding mixes with cold milk for 2 minutes, then let stand 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.
  4. Spread cream cheese mixture over chilled crust, top with pudding, then spread remaining whipped topping on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  5. Slice into squares while cold and garnish with chocolate shavings or reserved crumbs before serving.

Notes

Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours so the layers set. For the cleanest slices, run a knife under hot water between cuts. If you’re short on time, speed the chill by placing the pan in the freezer for 1 hour, then transfer to the fridge for another hour.
